(SPOT.ph) Well apparently we’re almost halfway through 2021—anyone else having an existential crisis over how quickly the months have gone by? In case you need a distraction from all that’s going on in the world—at least for a little bit—online shopping will always have your back. If you don’t know what to “add to cart” this month, we list 10 cool new finds worth spending a few bucks on—partially for a mood boost, but also because you’ll get lots of use out of each of them. For June, we spotted some cool (and budget-friendly!) new gadgets, fuss-free makeup products, a pair of sneakers perfect for Pride Month, and so much more!
Add these 10 cool shopping finds to your wish list this June:
Longchamp Le Foulonné Zipped Crossbody Bag (starts at P20,500)
When you think of Longchamp, their famous Le Pliage bag is probably the first thing that comes to mind. If you already own a purse featuring that instantly recognizable button flap, we suggest checking out some other styles in their catalog—we’re currently eyeing this new piece from their Le Foulonné line. The modern-minimalist crossbody bag sports no distinct flaps or buckles on the body, letting the slim shape take center stage. It oozes casual, effortless sophistication—totally worth the investment!
Available at Rustan’s stores in Ayala Center Makati, Shangri-La Plaza, and Greenbelt 5 as well as on the Rustan’s website.
Kaya Mana Filigree Tambourine Charms (P2,500 each)
Give your jewelry a distinctly Filipino flair with these elegant charms from Kaya Mana, a brand dedicated to protecting and promoting our national cultural heritage. Their Filigree Tambourine charms can be used on necklaces, bracelets, and earrings and each piece is handcrafted by craftsmen in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. The charms come in four designs, each modeled after elements of our local culture, wildlife, and greenery. Choose from the Tambol (a drum/tambourine), the Butete (a pufferfish), the Amami (a rosary), and the Daligan (a star fruit).
Available online.
Strokes Eye Paint Duo (P428)
Create head-turning eye looks minus the fuss with local brand Strokes’ Eye Paint Duo. The double-ended tube features a matte cream eyeshadow on one end and a shimmery cream shadow on the other. Instead of spending several minutes blending and building up powder on your lids, just apply a bit of these mousse-like creams and blend them out with your finger. You’ll end up with a softly blended, vibrantly pigmented finish in no time.
Available online.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 40 (P5,499)
Give your snapshots a vintage flair with Fujifilm’s new Instax Mini 40. Not only does the instant-print camera sport a retro-inspired look, it also makes your pics look straight out of a time machine. Sure, digital photos on your phone are always an option, but turning your memories into keepsakes always makes them feel a little more special. The camera was released along with the new Contact Sheet mini-format film, which features a black frame with orange text, adding a vintage feel to each of your photographs. The design simulates an actual contact sheet used in analog photography—for those of you born in the digital age, that's a bromide sheet printed with all the negatives from a roll of film.
Available at Wonder Photo Shop, Henry’s Cameras, Lazada, and Shopee.
Lush Sleepy Dust (P495)
If you’re looking for ways to make your nighttime, pre-sleep routine a little more relaxing, add this Sleepy Dust powder from Lush to your wish list. All you have to do is sprinkle it all over the way you would any regular powder—not only does it leave behind a soothing lavender and chamomile aroma that will help you calm down before bed, it also softens the skin and absorbs excess oil and lotion from your skin. That way, you feel extra cool, calm, and refreshed right before you doze off.
Available online; see a list of Lush stores.
SteepShot (P3,800)
Looking to get into home brewing, but don’t have space for a bulky device? Give the SteepShot a try. The device uses pressure to push water through medium-fine coffee grounds—not unlike the electric espresso machines you would find at your fave café—and it does that in just one handy dandy tool that you can fit inside your bag. The pressure allows the water to penetrate the coffee grounds efficiently, resulting in a strong, flavorful brew and reducing brew time when compared to manual coffee makers like a dripper or Vietnamese coffee maker. The method’s quick brewing process also eliminates the possibility of coffee grounds reacting to the water for too long (a.k.a. over-extraction), which is what commonly causes that bitter coffee taste most of us are trying to avoid.
Available online.
Converse Chuck 70 Hi Pride Sneakers (P4,999)
Celebrate Pride Month with these adorable Converse sneakers! Their 2021 Pride Collection includes several lace-ups (and a pair of slides) decked out in vibrant rainbow designs—these high-cut Chuck 70s are our fave from the line. The pair sports a predominantly cream-colored exterior with a vibrant rainbow swirling around on the outer side. The inner side keeps it simpler with a clean, no-frills look, though the Converse All Star logo can be seen rocking a prismatic pattern. Plus, the inner side of the tongue has the words "find your pride" printed in thick black font and the sole is decked out in a gradient rainbow.
Available online.
Colourette ColorBalm (P299)
Keep your makeup looks fresh and effortless with Colourette’s new ColourBalm. The local brand’s take on a tinted lip balm leaves your kisser looking plump and glossy while also feeling moisturized and nourished. Use it anytime you need a just quick touch of color on your lips—no liner or precise application required.
Available online.
Chaser Whip Roller Skates (P2,995)
Whether you still don’t know how to ride a bike or you just don't have the space for a bulky transportation device at home, you might want to try roller skates instead. These pretty pink skates from Chaser will let you relive your childhood. Instead of having to lug a bike around and constantly find places to park it, all you have to do is put these on like a pair of sneakers and you’re free to wheel around the Metro in style.
Available online.
Good Job Journal (P599)
While your 2021 planner helps you keep track of your schedules, to-do lists, and other life commitments, we also suggest keeping a diary that helps you manage more than just urgent concerns and daily tasks. Enter the Good Job Journal by life coach Aurora M. Suarez, which is designed to help you navigate career doubts and challenges with thoughtful questions and creative prompts littered through its many pages. Whether you’re feeling a little burned out at work or you just need to reassess your career goal, this journal could be exactly what you need to untangle the thoughts that have been plaguing your mind.
Available online.
